Can You Change Only the Voice Language in VALORANT?

Source-checked 2 September 2026About 3 minutes

Answer

VALORANT does not currently provide a documented setting that changes agent voices while keeping the interface text in another language. The safe option is to change the complete game language in Riot Client. Do not rename, copy, or swap VALORANT language package files: that unsupported workaround can break after an update or stop the game from launching.

Before you continue

No separate controlRiot documents a game-language setting, not independent voice and text choices.
Use Riot ClientChange the complete language through the normal settings.
Leave game files aloneDo not use copied .pak files or scripts.

Check Riot's language support Repair changed game files

Check what you want to change

If you need menus and voices in the same language, use Riot Client's normal game-language setting. If you need different languages for each, there is no documented switch for that.

Do not modify language files

Do not copy, rename, or replace .pak files and do not run a batch file that edits the VALORANT installation.

Use the normal language setting

Close VALORANT, open Riot Client, select the profile icon, Settings, VALORANT, and then the language you want.

Check Riot's language support

Let Riot Client update

Wait for any language download to finish, restart the client if asked, and launch the game.

Check the complete result

Verify the interface text, subtitles, and agent voices. The normal setting can change them together.

Undo an old file workaround

If you previously changed .pak files, restore your backup only if it is from the same installation. Otherwise use Riot Client Repair to restore verified files.

Follow Riot's repair steps

Watch for a future official control

Use Riot's current language page and in-game settings as the source of truth. A separate voice option should only be used if Riot adds it visibly.

If it does not work

If VALORANT stopped launching after a file swap, run Repair before reinstalling the whole game.
If Riot Client redownloads language files, let it finish; do not interrupt it by restoring an older copy.
Avoid tools that promise mixed languages and ask for Riot credentials or permission to modify the installation.
